Two million federal workers receive memo warning they can’t use the word ‘resist’ or discuss Trump impeachment at work
ll federal workers have received a memo warning that they cannot discuss the possibility of Donald Trump being impeached at work, reports the New York Times.
The memo went out Wednesday to about 2 million workers.
The memo said it was “illegal for them to participate in such discussions at work,” the Times reports.
This is the first time such a memo has been sent out, the paper reports, and critics say it’s overreaching.
“Advocating for a candidate to be impeached, and thus potentially disqualified from holding federal office, is clearly directed at the failure of that candidate’s campaign for federal office,” the memo said.
Because Trump is already running for re-election in 2020, the letter contends that arguments about his policies or impeachment prospects are “effectively statements in support or opposition to his campaign,” the paper reports.
